General procedure for the synthesis of 2-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-imidazole from the compound (CAS:131543-46-9) and 2,2,2-trifluoroethane-1,1-diol: 20 mL of ammonia aqueous solution was added to a three-necked flask at room temperature and stirred. Subsequently, 5 mL of trifluoroacetaldehyde hydrate was mixed with 5 mL of glyoxal and slowly added dropwise to the aqueous ammonia solution, and the reaction was carried out for 2 hours at room temperature. After the reaction was completed, 20 mL of ethyl acetate was added for extraction for 30 minutes. The ethyl acetate layer was separated and dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was removed by distillation under reduced pressure to give a final 4.2 g of brown oily product, 2-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-imidazole.

Reaction Conditions:
with ammonium hydroxide at 20; for 2 h;Reagent/catalyst;
Steps:
1 Example 1: Preparation of 2-trifluoromethyl imidazole
20ml of ammonia solution was added into a three-necked flask and stirred at room temperature. Then 5ml of trifluoroacetaldehyde hydrate and 5ml of glyoxal were mixed and slowly added dropwise to ammonia water for reaction at room temperature for 2 hours.After the reaction was completed, 20 ml of ethyl acetate was added to extract for 30 min. The ethyl acetate layer was separated and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure to give 4.2 g of a brown oil, that is, 2-trifluoromethylimidazole.
